Guidelines for articles
Indication for publication of articles derived from the TCCs
The articles published by the E&S Journal from the Course Conclusion Works aim to broaden the dissemination of the productions developed by specialization students, transforming the main results, contributions, and perspectives of the works into a more complete, structured, and suitable format for editorial publication.
This new format seeks to value the technical-scientific production of students and advisors, giving greater visibility to the studies carried out within the scope of the specialization courses. Furthermore, it contributes to the dissemination of applied knowledge in accessible, qualified language aligned with the scope of the E&S Magazine.
To this end, the teams from E&S Magazine and the Pecege Institute’s Technology department developed a tool that transforms selected TCCs into complete articles, presenting the main elements of the research, its results, analyses, conclusions, and possible practical contributions.
The articles generated in this format will have their own international publication identifier, the DOI (Digital Object Identifier). The DOI functions as a kind of “CPF” for the article: it is a unique and permanent number, internationally recognized, that exclusively identifies that publication. Thus, even if the website link changes, the DOI continues to be used to locate, cite, and track the article in academic databases and indexing systems.
Furthermore, the students and their respective advisors will be indicated as authors of the work, provided that both expressly authorize its publication.
How does the publication process work?
The TCCs that meet the criteria established by the editorial team of the Revista E&S may be selected for publication in article format. During the defense committee meeting, the student and advisor will receive the invitation to authorize or not the publication of the work.
Publication will only occur upon joint authorization of the student and the advisor. In case of acceptance by only one of the parties, the article will not proceed to publication. When there is acceptance from both, the student and the advisor will be indicated as authors of the article.
After the defense, the workflow will proceed according to the need or not for adjustments in the Term Paper:
- When there is no requirement for revision, the version made available in the defense process will be used as the basis for the article’s elaboration and will proceed to editorial processing.
- When revision is required, the article will be prepared from the revised version of the TCC, which must be submitted by the student within the established deadline. In this case, the work will only proceed to processing after receiving the revised version.
The estimated deadline for publication and DOI assignment is 30 to 90 days from the receipt of the final version of the term paper ready for publication. Thus:
- in works without revision requirement, the deadline is counted from the availability of the version used in the defense process;
- in works requiring revision, the deadline is counted from the receipt of the revised version.
The articles are processed and published gradually, according to the editorial flow of the E&S Journal. For this reason, it is not possible to provide a specific publication date within this period in advance.
The article generated from the term paper will not be sent to the student or the advisor for a new stage of review or approval before publication, as it is an adaptation of the academic work already presented and approved. Therefore, it is important that the version used as a basis corresponds to the final version of the term paper.
After publication, the E&S Magazine team will send the link to access the published article to the student via email.
DOI Assignment
Articles published in the E&S Journal receive a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) identifier. The DOI registration is carried out after the publication of the article and, due to the technical procedures for registration and validation with Crossref, its activation may occur after the article is made available on the Journal’s website. After the registration is completed, the DOI will be incorporated into the publication page. This period
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the application used to transform the TCC into an article?
It is a tool developed and improved by the teams of Revista E&S and Pecege Institute Technology to convert TCCs into more complete editorial articles. The tool organizes the main results, analyses, conclusions, and perspectives of the TCC into a format suitable for publication in Revista E&S.
Is the student/advisor required to participate?
No. Participation is entirely optional for both parties.
Does the advisor also need to authorize?
Yes. Publication depends on the joint authorization of the student and the advisor. If only one of the parties accepts, the article will not be published.
If only the student accepts, will the article be published?
No. Individual acceptance is not sufficient. The publication requires agreement from both parties: student and advisor.
If only the advisor accepts, will the paper be published?
No. The student’s authorization is also mandatory. Without joint acceptance, the article will not be published.
Can I request the publication after the defense?
No. If the student and/or advisor do not authorize publication at the time of the defense, subsequent requests for publication of the same term paper in this format will not be accepted.
Can all TCCs become an article?
No. Only the TCCs that meet the criteria established by the editorial team of the E&S Journal may be selected for publication in this format.
Does the article replace the Term Paper?
No. The article does not replace the TCC. It is a publication derived from the academic work presented at the defense, organized in a more synthetic, structured format and suitable for editorial dissemination.
Will the article text be identical to the TCC?
No. The article will be derived from the TCC, but will undergo adaptation of format, length, and language. The objective is to make the content more objective, clear, and suitable for editorial publication, without distorting the main arguments, results, and contributions of the original work.
What will be the structure of the article?
The article will be elaborated based on the academic structure of the Term Paper, including, when applicable, abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results, main conclusions, and references. The content will be adapted to a more objective format suitable for publication in the E&S Journal, with an approximate length of 3,000 to 6,000 words, preserving the main results, contributions, and meanings of the original work.
Will the article be registered?
Yes. The articles derived from the TCCs will have their own DOI. The (Digital Object Identifier) is a unique and permanent alphanumeric code assigned to digital publications, such as articles. It functions as a sort of “CPF” for the document on the internet, ensuring that it can be reliably located even if the page link changes.
Who will be the authors of the article?
The student and the advisor will be indicated as authors of the article, provided that both expressly authorize publication.
Is there any cost to publish?
No. The publication of articles derived from the selected TCCs does not involve any fee for the student or the advisor.
How long does it take for the article to be published?
The estimated publication deadline is 30 to 90 days after the defense date. After publication, the link to access the article will be sent by email to the corresponding author (student).
How will I know about the publication?
After publication, the E&S Magazine team will forward the article access link to the corresponding author, i.e., the student responsible for the TCC.
Can I withdraw my submission after authorizing it?
Yes. If you have authorized publication and wish to withdraw, you must contact the E&S Journal by email (esrevista@pecege.com), providing your full name, paper title, and defense date. It is recommended that this decision be previously aligned between the student and the advisor.
Can I later submit an article based on my TCC to another journal?
As this new format will have its own DOI and authorship attributed to the student and advisor, it constitutes a formal publication. Therefore, before submitting a new version of the work to another journal, it is necessary to carefully check the destination journal’s regulations, especially regarding originality, self-plagiarism, republication, and prior publication.
A new submission may require substantial reformulation of the text, theoretical expansion, methodological deepening, new analysis or a different scope, according to the rules of each journal.
Can I have access to the full TCC?
If you are interested in accessing the complete TCC, you will need to contact the E&S Magazine, stating the justification for the request. Access to the full material will depend on the applicable institutional regulations and the corresponding availability or authorization.
Is publication in the Estratégias & Soluções Journal free?
Yes. Publication in the Revista Estratégias & Soluções is free. There is no charge for submission, publication, or assignment of the DOI for the works.
Does the student need to perform any procedure after acceptance?
No. After acceptance for publication, no additional procedure is necessary. The adaptation, editorial review, and publication process will be conducted by the E&S Journal team.
Will emails be sent about the publication’s progress?
No intermediate emails will be sent about each step of the editorial process. The student will only be contacted again when the article is published, with the respective access link.
What is the Qualis/CAPES classification of the journal?
In the latest Qualis/CAPES evaluation (2021-2024), the Revista Estratégias & Soluções was classified as Qualis B4.
Which version of the Term Paper will be used as the basis for the article?
When there is no requirement for adjustments after the presentation, the version of the Term Paper made available in the presentation process will be used as the basis. In cases where a revision is requested, the article will be prepared based on the revised version submitted by the student within the established deadline.
The content will be adapted to the editorial format of the E&S Magazine, with adjustments in length, structure, and language. The article, therefore, will not be identical to the Term Paper, but will be produced based on the information, results, and references contained in the version used in the process.
After this adaptation, the article is not sent to the student or advisor for a new stage of review or approval before publication. For this reason, it is important that the version of the TCC used as a basis corresponds to the final and duly revised version of the work.
